The Polish Hierarchy

Ya'll may have noticed that the last week or so the Polish Hierarchy has been having their ad limina visits. One thing that struck me was just how many Auxiliary Bishops were on the lists.

So I did a bit of research, there are 45 jurisdictions in Poland - 15 archdioceses and 30 dioceses. Of those, only 9 do not have an active Auxiliary Bishop. The are:

• Bydgoszcz
• Drohiczyn
• Kalisz
• Katowice (Archdiocese)
• Lowicz
• Sandomierz
• Szczecin-Kamien (Archdiocese)
• Wroclaw-Gdansk (Ukrainian)
• Poland, Military

In terms of numbers: 77% of dioceses and 87% of archdioceses have at least one active Auxiliary (80% overall).
